Role of private accommodation
In spite of a small size on the global scale, the South Baltic Regions coastal areas possess an exceptionally rich diversity of coastal landscapes, geomorphological features, and habitats. The rich coastal diversity of the South Baltic Region forms the basis for its rich recreational resources.

The CATCH Angler Survey Report
General Information on the Report:
Angler survey conducted from
February-April 2017
757 participants from
Denmark, Germany, Lithuania
and Poland
Demographic characteristics
♀6.4%, ♂93.6%
age = 16-81 years
Angler Habits
Average angling experience differs between countries; highest in
Denmark (Ø34 years), lowest in Poland (Ø15 years)
4 types of anglers in the South Baltic Region
Preferred angling techniques differ due to regional conditions:
including river and stream fishing, coastal angling and sea fishing
Preferred fish species partially comply among countries, but
can also differ due to regional availability
including pike, perch, pikeperch, cod, salmon, brown trout, etc.
CATCH aims at promoting coastal angling tourism in the South
Baltic Region by providing coastal communities with tools and
guidelines for sustainable activities and by establishing a cross-
border information and knowledge platform.
Data on coastal angling is limited, but highly needed to draw
on the great potential of coastal angling tourism. This angler
survey thus provides the basis for a better understanding of the
characteristics, (travel) habits and demands of anglers in the
South Baltic Region.
Coastal Angling Travels
On average, anglers from the South Baltic Region
go on several angling day trips, few short holidays
and one longer holiday per year*
Anglers’ expenditures for travels and gear
significantly differ among nationalities
Expenses (Ø) Holiday Gear
Denmark €847 €1,024
Germany €1,136 €783
Lithuania €586 €375
Poland €374 €190
Findings
Anglers travel with companions and prefer
destinations in home countries or
neighbouring countries
Destinations are chosen by the criteria of
landscape, fish species, stock status and
expenses*
Preferred accommodation: cottages or
camp sites*
*aggregated results; national details may vary
